Journal of Scientific Computing Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Basing on the nonuniform fast L1 formula, an efficient numerical scheme is proposed for nonlinear time–space fractional parabolic equations. The stability and convergence of the numerical scheme are rigorously established. The discrete energy dissipation property of the numerical scheme based on graded temporal mesh is given. Finally, several numerical experiments are provided to verify the theoretical results.
